“I once had a firefighter tell me that when going back into the house to hunt for the owner, he almost died in a house fire. This is how the conversation went:

Neighbor: What is the purpose of the fireman's presence in the house?

Firefighter: He's on the lookout for the home's owner.

Neighbor: He's right there with the video camera, he's right there.

"It seems out the owner did not believe it was necessary to notify the fire service that he had left the residence." Instead, he was filming the entire event. The fire started when the owner attempted to extinguish the flame of his BBQ cooker with scrap wood from his home's siding installation. The owner had no idea it was going to burn. "I burned down his entire house."
